I want to be a writer; this was a test story, not my main idea. I wanted to write to get better and tell my other stories better. I post elsewhere and edit it more on Royal Road, but it still can be a bit rough as I learn to write.

We follow the lives of many different people growing up in a world of magic and trying to find themselves.

We find Nina and her brother facing the struggle of tribal life, even her friend Teva is seeking her own way.

In the city, an orphan, Arlin, grows up hating the church that only tried to love him as he tries to take other orphans and raise them as a new family, never knowing why his mother abandoned him.

Then we follow a young boy named Wolf in a new town where he only knew peace away from it all, and as he feels the world is against him while he seeks magic and adventure, with his sister, who is helping the family. Even as his best friend Coby hunts monsters  with his father

each slowly grows trying to find their way in this world of magic, and as events slowly shift and unfold, showing the world is much bigger than they knew, and their action, no matter how minor they may seem, create ripples that change the events to come.

so let us follow the world and the people in it as they try make new dreams of things to come.

Seventeen years ago, a girl was sent to another world by a glowing goddess named Aris. Blessed with powerful magical attributes—but curiously, no holy power.

And now the girl has become Mira d'Ark. She lives a peaceful life in the sun-kissed fishing town of Mermaid’s Cove.

She doesn’t fight monsters.She doesn’t wear holy robes.And she certainly doesn’t consider herself a saintess.

But the townsfolk think otherwise.

From healing wounds and calling rain, to helping lost adventurers and tending the soil, Mira's magic has touched everyone in town.

But as her seventeenth birthday dawns and cake is served at the Adventurer's Guild, a new arrival at the edge of town will gently begin to shift the tides of Mira’s peaceful world.

Because sometimes, even a girl who doesn’t believe she’s a saintess... is exactly what the world needs.

Avinash arrives in Mumbai with a dream wrapped in code and a lie already being celebrated back home, but the city doesn't care for either. When his big break falls apart, he's left with no job, no backup, and no choice but to take refuge behind a food truck, serving burgers by day and hiding behind unfinished lines of code by night. Just when he begins to settle into survival, Prachi walks in—exhausted but relentless, sharp but carrying her own invisible weight. Their paths meet again and again, often by the sea, on a beach that seems to slow the chaos of the world, where long silences speak louder than words and moments feel like they almost mean something. She doesn’t know who he really is—until she does. And when she discovers the anonymous creation Avinash has buried under doubt and failure, it sparks a wildfire of ambition neither of them fully understands. What begins as a fragile rhythm turns into a high-stakes sprint toward something bigger—something that tests their truths, tears at their illusions, and drags them dangerously close to the edge of collapse. In a city that demands constant motion and rarely forgives hesitation, this is the story of a boy who almost made it, a girl who almost stopped trying, and a world that doesn’t wait for either—where everything hinges on what you're willing to risk for the version of yourself you’ve barely begun to believe in.

A simple, quiet life. Do you have what it takes?

Deep in the valley, a treasure slumbers. They say it’s a gift…a record of the past.

Willem just wanted a quiet life outside the village, but when a treasure-hunting team arrives on his property, he’s forced to take notice.

Armed with his watering can and sickle, he joins the mysterious traveler and his team of trained monsters. Together, they’ll journey into the woods, seeking the help of Ayla, the village witch.

Their party grows, new villagers joining the hunt. It’s the talk of the town—the most adventure they’ve ever seen.

In a valley rich in magical energy, there’s no shortage of mystery. There’s no shortage of companionship.

This is how a farm begins.

She gave her heart to the wrong man—but fate had someone else waiting in the storm

My chemistry teacher in eighth grade said that all elements donate or accept electrons because they want to achieve stability, same way we humans work hard, get jobs, get married and have a stable life.

Now dive into the lives of 118 element people, blending these concepts and living their lives, and see little glimpses of their own attempts.

(NOTE: Time periods jump like crazy. Ch 1 happens in 2041 and ch 2 happens in the 1990's I think.)

"Well, that's a name I haven't heard in a while," a voice calls out behind me.

It's familiar. Hauntingly familiar. I felt like I'd been thrust back to being a 17-year-old again hearing that voice. The hairs on the back of my head stand and I nearly drop my freshly made mango smoothie. I don't want to look back, but my head is already turning like it's on autopilot. And then... I see him. Standing there, in a suit that looks like it was made to be worn only by him and glasses that compliment his warm smile. I can feel the blood rushing to my cheeks as my heart races.

"Andrew?" I whisper.

After years of tirelessly chasing the fast-paced life, Thiên Lam—a twenty-year-old girl—suddenly realized that she was exhausted. The burdens of life, the suffocating city, and the endless pressures had drained her. She decided to leave it all behind. A small wooden house in the middle of vast flower fields became her refuge—a place where only the wind, flowers, and peaceful days existed.

Here, she learned to love herself again, cherish the smallest moments, and find joy in the simplest things.

This is the English translation of one of my Vietnamese novels:"Những Ngày Bình Yên Giữa Cánh Đồng Hoa"

"Ring! Ring!""I'm coming!" Who is here at this hour?He pondered. He got out of bed at 9 PM and walked over to the doorbell camera. "What?" On the other side was a beautiful Japanese woman.She had beautiful white skin, with beautiful black eyes and beautiful black hair with red stripes on both sides of her head. She looked so serious, yet she had such a blissful and excited aura of hers. She stood almost as if all of her gears in a machine were running all at once trying not to go too fast and fly out.As he opened the door, she outstretched her hand through the small slit in between the door and the door frame.As the door opened fully, she held out her hand expecting a handshake and said,"こんにちは。" (Hello.)"What!?"He was so confused, and his brain was as empty as his stomach. Just as he attempted to outstretch his arm, he slightly tilted forwards before falling backwards and passing out in front of this random Japanese woman."はぁ？！" (Huh?!)She said before she rushed to his side and caught him before his head smashed against the wooden floor.________________________________________________________________________「リン！リン！」

"I'm coming!" (今行くよ！)こんな時間に誰だろう？彼は考えた。午後9時にベッドから起きて、玄関のドアベルカメラのところへ向かった。

"What?" (えっ？) 反対側には、美しい日本人女性が立っていた。

彼女は美しい白い肌をしており、美しい黒い瞳と、頭の両側に赤いラインが入った美しい黒髪を持っていた。とても真剣な表情をしていたが、どこか幸せでワクワクしたオーラを放っていた。まるで、すべての歯車が同時に動きながらも、暴走しないように必死で制御されているかのように立っていた。

彼がドアを開けると、彼女はドアと枠の隙間から手を差し出してきた。

ドアが完全に開くと、彼女は握手を求めるように手を差し出しながら言った。

「こんにちは。」

"What!?"(えっ！？)

彼はとても混乱し、頭の中は空っぽ、まるで空腹の胃のようだった。手を差し出そうとしたその瞬間、体が少し前に傾き、そのまま後ろへ倒れて気を失ってしまった。目の前の見知らぬ日本人女性の前で。

「はぁ？！」彼女は叫んで、すぐに彼の元へ駆け寄り、彼の頭が木の床に打ちつけられる前に抱きとめた。

A kobold, space marine and steampunk pirate walks into a bar...

Bartholomew "Bart" Thatcher's tavern has survived five years of interdimensional war when buildings twice its size were reduced to rubble. The clock keeps perfect time, the drinks still bstilpatron's throats, and "last call" remains a negotiable concept.

When three battle-worn soldiers from opposing factions arrive one night (a fire-breathing kobold, a space marine and a steampunk privateer), they bring news that make Bart reconsider closing for the night.

Not that anything matter much when reality itself is tearing apart at the seams.

As Bart serves drinks to former enemies, their shared stories reveal the cosmic joke of their five-year conflict. But when they step outside to a world where nothing worth fighting for remains, only one question lingers:

Who won?

Does it even matter?

A slice-of-life tale set in a bar at the end of everything, where the drinks are strong, the company is strange, and the counter is always clean. Clean-adjacent. Not dirty.
